Reservoir ports

Go to solution Solved by Ghost,

Its easiest to bleed (almost instant) if it comes in at the top but you need a feeding tube so the water doesn't "waterfall" into the res.

Posted

I was wondering if it makes a difference where the loop ends on the reservoir (tube), i.e. is it better to end it on top or at the bottom? Any air bubbles issues? Thanks in advance

I don't imagine it would but you would want your port that leads to the pump to be somewhat near the bottom. I run my MC res micro with the bottom port to the pump and the side port back in.

Yes I'm aware of the positioning of my pump  :P Thanks

I'm not sure I quite understand the ''feeding tube'' part. Do you mean during the filling the loop process? Or in the actual loop...

A feeding tube goes down from the top fitting to below the water level. It's a small tube that "feeds" the water into the res rather than dropping it.

Doesn't this make it no different from the loop ending at the bottom? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding something..
